The intention is to introduce you to the people who have been carving their own path...with no care for what anybody thinks.

We try not to post things that are still for sale but sometimes post things that are not easily available. If you like what you hear, then find these people and tell them how great they are.

Better still, tell them and then seek out their new releases and buy them. We add links, when they are reliable and active, so that you can keep track if you so wish.

Always go straight to the artist or the label where possible. That way, the money goes straight to the people responsible for this art. These people rely on our support to keep going and make more quality releases!

Please feel free to leave comments as you go along...at least then we know you appreciate this stuff (or otherwise) and you're not just a bunch of freeloading file collectors.

If you made this music and we have pissed you off by posting any of this, please leave a comment in the post and the offending articles will be removed.

From 1986, volume 9 contains my very favorite song from the entire Insane Music for Insane People series! This is quite a diverse compilation, with repeat appearances by Jarboe, Human Flesh, Los Paranos... plus Bill Pritchard, Big City Orchestra, Muteual Mortuary (aka a very short-lived duo of Bill Leeb and Nivek Ogre of Frontline Assembly and Skinny Puppy), Paul K, Amor Fati, Opera Multi Steel... and, easily my favorite song on any of these tapes, a post-punk rager by the Italian band Dissolutio Humani Generis, which reminds me of X-Ray Spex or Essential Logic. None of the band's other songs are as good as this one, unfortunately, but this is a keeper.
